Sure Path

The old medieval proverb, “all roads lead to Rome,” simply means all paths lead to the same goal. One might use this phrase to describe a situation where all alternative options end in the same result. This might have been the cause of the first real traffic jam!

This culture is not for the easily confused! This way – that way – what way – no way! When answers don’t elude us altogether, we must ask on what authority is the answer secure! Many embrace the notion we’re all on different spiritual paths leading to the same eternal end. Proverbs challenges this way of thinking, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” (14:12). Even Christians tolerate this many-paths idea, but it just doesn’t line up with God’s Word. Through the Apostle Paul, God said, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8). The soul’s salvation is not-never-no-way the work of man – we’re not able to save ourselves! Salvation is solely (that means entirely) the work of Almighty God. Consequently, one way -- one path. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6). Confusing times but no need for confusion! All roads may have led to Rome, but God’s Word is clear – all roads do not lead to His Promise of peace, joy, and eternal security. Avoid the jams. Choose Christ Jesus. Take the sure path!
